London West End Theater Roof Collapses Mid-performance

Numerous casualties is what they are saying but no dead announced (thus far). Theater had 700 people in it (full capacity I believe).

Sounds like it was the balcony ceiling that collapsed.

It was the plaster in the roof that fell, which can be alot in a Victorian London Theatre, one of them churubs can weigh a pound or 2, that said looks like no one dead.
